Is it worth getting a larger u lock to secure around a post while using the chain as well?
You could get a long-shackle-mini U-lock and secure the frame and rear wheel, then use the chain to lock the front wheel to the frame (and then to another stationary object if one's available). And your cable can lock your seat & post to the U-lock. Like this (see the last two photos):

If it were me, I'd get the Kryptonite Evolution LS Mini or the Evolution Series4 LS, the latter of which is a SoldSecure Gold-rated lock.
